[Closed] What's annoying you currently? II

Alan and Thor I'm glad you're still sticking around this messageboard and contributing when you can. I too am in your corner about the general state of affairs as far as the boards are concerned. I find very few threads that I can comment on. However, I recently reviewed the new Perseverance release of "Battle of the Bulge" and did get some responses on the FSM board, a few of which were interesting. I wish there was more interest on this forum but there isn't. When I tried Golden Scores I found there was little interest. What did have an interest was whether or not we should make my film list a sticky or not. Or we all remember when I complained about the sexy babes thing. I for one do want to talk about film music. I'm not going to try and change anything except my attitude.

Thanks D for the encouragement.

Yeap. You need a power supply for it, if it supports it. Because usb powering only (without dc) often causes these noises. And you need the cord for the external card to have its grounding cut (or lifted via di box).

I understand what you mean Alan. But, it's also a matter of statistics: film music listeners are rare compared to music in general. And then within film music there are rare or obscure scores too or composers or films hardly no one heard about. So it makes sense that people don't respond if they haven't heard about it and have no interest either. You do realise you listen to a lot of film music, both 'mainstream' and 'unknown' film music?


About changes at the forum... well, I haven't been too active either and I like it this way. Sometimes I'm disappointed with lack of interaction but then I'm just done reading sooner. I never think in terms of staying or leaving, for me it's easy, I just read and post when I feel like it and I don't when I don't feel like it. That certainly makes things a lot easier. I don't have expectations* anymore so to speak. So, when I'm here and enjoy conversation it's even more fun and it always feels good.

* This may sound cynical or bitter but I mean it in the most positive way possible! I mean to say I enjoy being here more when I just join when I feel like it and not when there's nothing to read or write for me.

Many a true word said in jest.

how does it end? Does she come back un-huffed??

Why not, what's good for the.....oh you know

Admittedly not very high on anyone's annoyance list, but last.fm's scrobbling function seems to be broken - again. Hopefully, my listens are being stored somewhere on their servers so that my stats can be updated with a couple of Ron Jones tracks!

Odd!!

But glad you got it sorted out, Captain!

I never use last.fm to listen to anything. Can you listen to anything using last.fm? I only use it to keep tabs on my own listening habits. And for the stats.

I don't use Spotify either - with the amount of music that I already have (which I am unfamiliar with) I don't need something that will deluge me with lots of new stuff!

Yes, but you can do just the same from iTunes. And a myriad of other programs/apps.

I have been tempted to try Spotify.

In some ways it negates the need to buy your own music - especially for those who have adopted digital purchases and don't have a physical library.

You need to jog on the spot listening to Rocky.

That is exactly what I've been doing! 250 grams consumed...more coming up later on.

Jogging, Alan?!?! Pfft....
